Following the enormous success of Crap-Tel's first two compilation albums (“A Call to Arms” and “Songs Called Jump”), Matty Milner and I have decided that we need to release a third installment.
This new compilation is tentatively titled “Purse Your Lips: The World's Greatest Whistling Songs”.
We have a few hits lined up, but we need your help. Please tell us your favourite whistling ditties and help make this the biggest and best Crap-Tel release so far.
The beginning of our tracklisting:
Jealous Guy/John Lennon or Bryan Ferry
Love in Motion/Icehouse
Patience/Guns 'n' Roses
Winds of Change/The Scorpions
Alpha Beta Gaga/Air
So as you can see, we need your help. Let's hear it people. We want whistling, and we want it now.
badger says:
the one that goes "skip to the lou my darling"
badger says:
or maybe I meant "my darling clementine". yeah i think that's the one
Big Willie Scotsman says:
I always catch meself whistling that old-time humdinger (name not known):
"Fish Heads
Fish Heads
Roly Poly Fish Heads
Fish Heads
Fish Heads
Doobie doobie doo"
B-Diddy DubSac says:
"Groove In Da Heart" - Deelite
"Lazy Sunday Afternoon" - That MuthaPhukkin Corkney Bastard!
"Hitler - Has Only Got One Ball" - Artist Unknown
"Theme From He-Man" - DJ Cringer
"Who Let The Dogs Out/Accapella/Whistling Rmx" - Da Baha Girlie Men
Seriously, it gets pretty desperate after Scorpions who practically dominate this topic…
I think you should also research into starting a compilation [b] "Plea For Clemency" [/b] as in, please god (sic), save me from this absolute tripe!
KL says:
"Lazy Sunday Afternoon" is a good one, but maybe we should save that for the "Gits With Annoying Accents" compilation, featuring every Proclaimers tune ever, and also the Cranberries and The Corrs.
Hordak says:
'Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay' - Otis Redding. Best whistling bit ever.
KL says:
Thank you, Hordak. That is an insightful suggestion. How nice to have an intelligent visitor, rather than yet another of Blazin' Billy's schizoid personalities.
fancy dave says:
Billy Joel - "The Stranger".
I think that's a rival for Otis, but maybe just 'cos it goes right from soft piano and whistling into coked-up 70's stlye dirty guitar disco.
My ten cents worth… at least the only ten I've got on me at the moment.
Skeletor says:
Good luck selling your "Best Of" compilation, what, with only 6 tracks on it, it should be a surefire cure for the blues…
Oh yes, and Hordak if you'd please return my text messages - there's the small matter of what we intend to do with Orca…:winky wink emoticon:
Cringer says:
<Whimper> I'm scared!
Battle Cat says:
ROOOAAAARRRR!
I'm gonna eat your bony bones, Skeletor!
snout spout says:

Barney says:
Man… this string really went to hell in a hurry. :unsure:
KL says:
I blame Hordak myself. :@
Stinkor says:
At the risk of the compilation becoming dominated by G'n'F'n'R's, one can't go past the intro to 'Civil War'.

Don't make me cut a dog in half, Perthlings.
vadge-ra says:
a kinda similar whistlin' tune to civil war would be that bon jovi one from young guns II - you know the one that goes "take me oouuuutttttt in a blaaaaazzzzeeee of glooooorrrrrreeeeeey" where jon bon jovi holds a guitar in the film clip and doesn't play it most of the time and when he does it sounds like a banjo. Oh that's right it's called blaze of glory. And I suppose they're referencing [obliquely] the theme from A Fistful of Dollars (i think) scored by Ennio Morricone. You know the one I mean, it does "do do do".

"This Album cruises from the get-go, reshaping musical favorites from mainstream sources into beautiful nursery rhymes for royalty and the high class."
How do you compete with that? I mean Smells Like Teen Spirit, for Christ's sake!
KL says:
Feckin' hell! Nice find, Barns!
Frammers says:
